Chapter 8: Herbs are coming
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Xia Zining stopped cultivating and soon fell asleep.
It had been two days since Xia Zining woke up, and Wang Tieshan's family was excited.
"What's wrong?" As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that Wang Tieshan's family was extremely happy, and Xia Zining, who didn't know, asked strangely, feeling that her throat was a little dry and hoarse.
"Girl, you finally woke up, you have suffered from wind chills and fever all over your body in the past two days and can't wake up, the doctor came to see it, aggravated the typhoid medicine and drank it and said that you can wake up at noon today, God bless." As soon as Luo heard Xia Zining's doubtful words, he immediately solved her doubts.
It turned out that after Xia Zining fell asleep, she slowly sweated all over her body, and she couldn't wake up for two days in a row.
Wang Xiahua also suffered from the wind chill that night and had a fever, but she also woke up the next night.
"Oh, I see, no wonder I feel weak." Xia Zining suddenly realized, and sat up and leaned on the bed with the help of Luo, with a pillow on her back.
Wang Xiahua came over with a glass of warm water for her to drink, and Xia Zining felt much more comfortable in her throat.
Wang Tieshan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xia Zining really sober up.
Behind him, Wang Dahu and Wang Erhu were also relieved in their hearts, and they were relieved to work when they saw her wake up.
Originally, Wang Dahu only came back once in three or seven days after working in the town, and he rushed back every night in the past two days, telling his family that the store was relatively relaxed in the past two days, but in fact, the real reason was clear to him.
He just wanted to see her, to see her alive and again.
Although her identity may be unusual, although she is still young, but... He can't control himself.
Wang Erhu and his father Wang Tieshan only went out to deliver firewood in the morning and stayed at home in the afternoon, after all, the benefactor did not wake up, and they were not at ease.
"Girl, are you hungry, I'll get some food for my daughter." Luo's face was really happy, and he immediately remembered that she hadn't eaten anything for two days, and asked Xia Zining anxiously.
"What materials does Auntie's family have?" If Xia Zining had opened his mouth to report the names of the dishes he ate before, but when he came here, Xia Zining could only ask first.
"It's noon, let's go to the village to buy some meat and come back to make up for the girl, what does the girl want to eat?" Roche said kindly.
Xia Zining followed the words, "Then Auntie, help me get some pork liver and lean pork porridge, just put some ginger shreds and celery seasoning." Is there any green vegetables to stir-fry? “
"Alas, I'll go." Roche responded again and again.
Then the men in the house except Wang Sanhu followed Luo out of the room, Wang Xiahua and Wang Sanhu chatted with Xia Zining in the house, talking about the gossip in the village, but let Xia Zining understand and get to know the people in the village.
"Sister Xia, you don't know, when you fell asleep, my grandfather, uncle and uncle all came, saying that they came to see Sister Xia, and my father and mother said that you didn't get up from the cold and didn't let them come into the room to see you, originally I didn't believe it, they thought my father lied to them, and then the doctor came to see my sister, and my uncle let my uncle come in to see it." Wang Sanhu was angry when he talked about the people who came over from home in the past two days, and actually said that his father was a liar, hum!
"Oh? They all came these two days? Did you say why you came to see me? Xia Zining asked with a chuckle, and quietly guessed something in her heart.
"I said that I would bring some supplements for my sister to use, and see if my sister was seriously injured, so that the women in the family could take care of it." Wang Xiahua took the words, her face was also unhappy, obviously complaining about the so-called family.
Xia Zining just raised her eyebrows and didn't ask anymore.
Then everyone began to chat again, which woman in this village has the loudest voice, which one is the most shrewd, how many benefactors are there for widow Wang, in addition to Wang Tieshan's best family, there are also a few people in the village who came to see the foreign girl who was taken down the mountain.
After her stomach was full, Xia Zining boiled water to rinse with the help of Luo and Wang Xiahua, and only came out of the bath after her whole body was dry.
Although it is currently summer and it is noon, Luo and Wang Xiahua originally did not approve of her rinsing as soon as she woke up, saying that it would be better to take a rest and rinse tomorrow, but how could Xia Zining endure not rinsing for two days, especially because her body was hot and sweating a lot, the ancients could stand it, she couldn't bear it, and finally, under her resoluteness, she finally let Luo compromise with her.
Roche was still the same as two days ago, holding a dry fabric to help her dry her hair in the room.
After another hour or so, Xia Zining, whose hair was already dry, asked Wang Xiahua to help get paper and pencils, but what made Xia Zining almost roll her eyes was that Wang Xiahua did not have paper and pen at home, and it was said that going to the town to buy paper and pen was not something that ordinary people could afford, and it was very expensive for people in rural areas to buy paper and pen and ink.
From Wang Xiahua and Luo's words, Xia Zining knew that it was a luxury for people in this era to go to school, and it was already great to be able to afford their children to go to school.
Take Old Man Wang's eldest son as an example, his eldest son Wang Baoshan does some small business at home, and uses the specialties of the countryside to earn some silver taels in the town.
Wang Baoshan's family is relatively rich in the village.
The village chief's family, Wang Qianhe's doctor's family, and Wang Baoshan's family are the three families with the best family conditions in the village.
Therefore, Wang Baoshan made a little money enough for the family to eat, but it is not normal to have big fish and meat every day or big white rice, coarse grains, pasta, wowotou plus some small dishes and occasionally a little meat to add to the meal, but how to say that it is not hungry.
All, Wang Baoshan and his second eldest are luckier than the eldest and can go to school.
As for the eldest is sixteen or seventeen years old, Wang Baoshan's family's conditions have gradually improved in the past two or three years, when Wang Baoshan's eldest son is not young, so he let the second son go to school.
The village chief has two sons and a daughter, one is 16 years old and studied with Wang Qian and his eldest son in a private school. The village chief's youngest son is 11 years old and Wang Qian and his youngest son are also classmates, so the family conditions are better, and the daughter is 14 years old at home this year.
Wang Qian and the doctor have two sons and a daughter, and the daughter is 17 years old this year and married two years early. The doctor is a person who married late, the eldest son of the family is 15 years old this year, in addition to going to a private school in the town, every time he goes home, he will follow Wang Qianhe to study medical science, and the younger son is 10 years old and also takes classes in the town's private school.
Other families have sons and can't let their sons go to private schools, because the tuition fee for half a year costs one or two.
Let's ask, people only have a few hundred dollars a month, and it would be good for a family with a few hundred dollars to be able to eat enough, how can there be such money to support children to go to school?
Speaking of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, the cheapest of these things to buy are dozens of silver.
All, Xia Zining was speechless, speechless, how could he be unimaginably poor here!
